Michael Moore makes CROCKumentaries.

Moore has since stated that Roger and Me is not a "true documentary in the traditional sense of the word". Not to ironically, Bowling for Columbine was, and its well known, was staged, and set up. I wanted to mention something else, I'm not sure if your farmiliar with the ALI G show on HBO, but they have this british comedian, and parts of his bits, are that he pretends to be a real reporter, and he interviews real people with stupid questions, some of the people he nabbed were Newt Gingrich, and I think Koffi at the UN, but he also got Ralph Nader, now Nader is talking about sueing him. God these people are thin skinned.

In my e-mail this AM.......

Last week, the Shelby County Alabama Legislative
Delegation hosted a "Stand Up for America Rally." More
than 1,200 people attended including featured speakers
Chief Justice Roy Moore, Adjutant General Mark Bowen
and Alabama State Auditor Beth Chapman.

Attached is a copy of Mrs. Chapman's speech, which
resulted in five standing ovations, tremendous
applause and an encore. It's a short read and well
worth it. I hope you enjoy it as we continue to "Stand
up for America!" Stand Up for America Rally Speech

By: Beth Chapman

I'm here tonight because men and women of the United
States military have given their lives for my freedom.
I am not here tonight because Sheryl Crowe, Rosie
O'Donnell, Martin Sheen, George Clooney, Jane Fonda or
Phil Donahue, sacrificed their lives for me.

If my memory serves me correctly, it was not movie
stars or musicians, but the United States Military who
fought on the shores of Iwo Jima, the jungles of
Vietnam, and the beaches of Normandy.

Tonight, I say we should support the President of the
United States and the U.S. Military and tell the
liberal, tree-hugging, Birkenstock-wearing, hippy,
tie-dyed liberals to go make their movies and music
and whine somewhere else.

After all, if they lived in Iraq, they wouldn't be
allowed the freedom of speech they're being given here
today. Ironically, they would be put to death at the
hands of Sadam Husssein or Osama Bin Laden. I want to
know how the very people who are against war because
of the loss of life, can possibly be the same people
who are for abortion?

They are the same people who are for animal rights but
against the rights of the unborn.

The movie stars say they want to go to Iraq and serve
as "human shields" for the Iraqis. I say let them buy
a one-way ticket and go.

No one likes war. I hate war! But the one thing I hate
more is the fact that this country has been forced
into war-innocent people have lost their lives - - and
there but for the grace of God, it could have been my
brother, my husband, or even worse my own son.

On December 7, 1941, there are no records of movie
stars treading the blazing waters of Pearl Harbor.

On September 11, 2001; there are no photos of movie
stars standing as "human shields" against the debris
and falling bodies tumbling from the World Trade
Center. There were only policemen and firemen -
-underpaid civil servants who gave their all with
nothing expected in return.

When the USS Cole was bombed, there were no movie
stars guarding the
ship - - where were the human shields then?

If America's movie stars want to be human shields, let
them shield the gang-ridden streets of Los Angeles, or
New York City, let them shield the lives of the
children of North Birmingham whose mothers lay them
down to sleep on the floor each night to shelter them
from stray bullets.

If they want to be human shields, I say let them
shield the men and women of honesty and integrity that
epitomizes courage and embody the spirit of freedom by
wearing the proud uniforms of the United States
Military. Those are the people who have earned and
deserve shielding!

Throughout the course of history, this country has
remained free, not because of movie stars and liberal
activists, but because of brave men and women who
hated war too. However, they lay down their lives so
that we all may live in freedom. After all - "What
greater love hath no man, that he lay down his life
for his friend," or in this case a country.

We should give our military honor and acknowledgement
and not let their lives be in vain. If you want to see
true human shields, walk through Arlington Cemetery.
There lie human shields, heroes, and the BRAVE
Americans who didn't get on television and talk about
being a human shield - they were human shields.

I thank God tonight for freedom - - those who bought
and paid for it with their lives in the past - - those
who will protect it in the present and defend it in
the future.

America has remained silent too long! God-fearing
people have remained silent too long!
We must lift our voices united in a humble prayer to
God for guidance and the strength and courage to
sustain us throughout whatever the future may hold.

After the tragic events of Sept. 11th, my then eleven
-year-old son said terrorism is a war against them and
us and if you're not one of us, then you're one of
them.

So in closing tonight, let us be of one accord, let us
stand proud, and let us be the human shields of
prayer, encouragement and support for the President,
our troops and their families and our country.

May God bless America, the land of the free, the home
of the brave and the greatest country on the face of
this earth!

Stay Safe !
